a1uslcal south American race.

The Venezuelans are o musical race.
They love music, they play the guitar and
the piano and they sing charming songs,
composing appropriate verses on the spot.
Nothing can be more interesting than one
of the evening parties, even among the
lower people, where several persons
always play their guitars and sing songs
referring teasingly 10 the love affairs and
little secrets of those present. What an
amount of wit and good natured humor
And the ladies do it so gracefully and
coquettishly that you cannot be cross
with them for exposing your little weak
nesses. Music is Unborn with them. They
do not need to learn it, which, however.
does not prevent them from having a pi-
ano in every other house, on which they
practice Wagner and Beethoven for hours,
not always to the delight Of their neigh
bors, whose windows are equally wide
open. Singing and guitar playing are to
be met with in the huts of the poorest vii
layers. 1t is their favorite amusement
during the evenings or during the dull
hours of the midday heat. Many Of the
donkey drivers, travelling with their cara.
vans through the country, carry guitar
slung over their shoulders, and one day,
far inland, met fellow, riding on u
heavily packed donkey, playing the guitar
and singing to his hearts content. What
good humored people!-Cor. New York

Mr.. Jefferson has more than one
strongly marked gift with which the pub
lie is not familiar. He possesses GER
tain mesmeric power which enables him
almost invariably to remove neuralgia or
other pains by gently rubbing the affected
part with his fingers, and two or three Of
the members Of his company testify heart
lily to his having relieved them of severe
nervous headaches by simply touching
their temples. One lady had neuralgia
so badly that the whole side of her face
was grotesquely swollen. Mr.. jefferson
stroked her check for ten or fifteen min
utes, took away the pain and so far re-
duced the swelling that the actress was
enabled TO 60 on with the performance
without showing the least sign Of dis
fiCurement.-New York World.

Instinct OF an Old Rat.

On very warm day IN early sum-
mer l happened to be standing near
a chicken coop in a back yard, when
I noticed the head of a very gray
and grizzled rat thrust from a neigh
boring rat hole, and concluded to
watch the movements of the veteran.
After a careful survey of the sur
roundIngs, our old rodent seemed to
be satisfied that all was right. and
made a cautious exit from the home
retreat. A fresh pan of water had
placed before the chickeu-coop and
the water looked a friendly invitation
to the thirsty old rat, who immedi-
ately started toward it.
The rat had not reached the pan
before five half-grown young ones
rushed ahead, and tried to be the
first at the water. The old rat there
upon Immediately made a leap like a
kangaroo. and was at the edge of
the dish in advance of the foremost
of her litter. Then ensued a most
remarkable occurrence. The mother
rat raised herself on her launches,
and hit and scratched her offspring
so severely whenever they attempted
to reach the water that they all fin
ally scudded away, evidently very
much astonished and frightened at
the strange and unaccountable be
havior of their mother. When the
little ones were at a safe distance,
the reasons fo1 her extraordinary be-
havior began 10 be revealed at once
in the intelligent action Of the old
mother rat.
She first wetted her whiskers in
the water, looked suspiciOusly about
her, then very cautiously and care
fully took a dainty little sip of the
liquid. She tasted it as tentatively
and critically as a professional tea
faster; and when she was satisfied
that it contained no poisonous OF
other deleteriOus matter, she gave s
couple of squeaks, which quickly
brought her young and thirsty blood
to her side, and all fearlessly dranB
